Hervé Van der Straeten's hammered, gold-plated creations always take my breath away. There's something very old world about the style – like it belongs on a Grecian goddess. But on Hervé's modern designs, there's nothing behind the times about the look. Just take notice of the cuff's cutouts....

Mix and match with the set of three bracelets ($340), trimmed in spikes and turquoise beads or be cocktail ready with the Vegas cuff ($515), gold plated with crystal embellishments. Audibert's cuffs (no wonder he's a twenty-year-plus veteran of the industry) have the right stuff.
